THE COLLECTION (2012) Ending Explained

#thecollection #endingexplained
In the sequel to the Collector, THE COLLECTION, a young woman finds herself to be the latest victim taken by the killer. And it's up to a group of mercenaries along with a reluctant Arkin O'Brien to find her and the killer at his home base. Here we learn much more about the Collector, including his history, what he does with his collection of people and so much more. We'll be breaking down everything we learn, his strange origin, as well as explaining the ending.

Actually my favourite part of both of these movies wasn’t the collector, it was actually Arkin. I loved watching everything he went through in the first movie and then finally getting his revenge in the 2nd one. That and I will always respect a guy who takes a stab to the face and just keeps punching.

I mean, living through the first movie, plus being the Collector's bitch for a long time, then having to deal with the same bullshit again tends to desensitize one to anything except for survival... even if it means re-breaking limbs and taking a knife through the cheek. definitely well said, though

[@bunnythebunbalboa]

Arkin endured stuff like that since the first movie, one of the most badass characters I've seen on the big screen in my entire life. Taking blows, cuts, explosions and broken bones like a champ because he's pure determination and doesn't want pain to stop him anymore, always thinking he'll have time to suffer from his injuries after he's done the job.His psychology is really nice as a horror/slasher main character tbh, one of the few times where the main is deadlier than the murderer, the same formula they used to create Ripley from Alien. They are not action heroes, they are pure will and determination heroes.

[@amanibob1416]

Like that doofus cop "Dewey" from the Scream series... Paramedics in a sequel told him, (after he'd survived another-nother stabby-stab-stabbing), that the first time was a miracle, but then afterward, it was accumulated scar tissue that basically saved him from bleeding out... In reality, he'd be unable to fu*king move if that was the case, but horror movie logic don't have to make sense, only to be exposed as fact. Ask Jason!

[@shadowclaw7210]

Bane it all coming together

[@shadowclaw7210]

Bane you mean for you

[@kittymaximum2826]

He's a thief. And unlike serial killers, there is honor among thieves. So I loved that it not only showed that he can use the darkness just as effectively, it's that he can use the exact same tactics the Collector uses in the same manner for vastly different goals. Like say... Figuring out on a list of 14 entomologists that he was number 12. Collector has already proven he could track someone down. Arkin was not a good man, but he definitely wasn't a bad guy. and I think the fact he starts the saga as a thief is why that scene is so cool. We already saw his honor when he went back in for a little girl in the first movie and agreeing to help save the young woman. We had seen his practical skills of breaking and entering. We got to see all the markings of his criminal behavior become the reason he was a hero. Including the sneaky use of shadows and misdirection. All the things that made him unsympathetic in the beginning of the first movie.

[@MynameisJohnRafael]

"The Killer survives" Arkin: Well yes, but actually no...

[@vinylscratch8857]

There was an additional scene in the credits that I feel is worth mentioning. It shows Arkin transporting the trunk across town to a garage where Elain is waiting with a weapon. Arkin isn't the only one who gets revenge and it shows a slightly darker side of our heroine.

Both films are great. I think people wrongly went into these films going "Oh it's torture porn" or "Oh the Saw people made this" and didn't take the film at face value. These are Slasher films as far as I'm concerned. The villain and the MC are why you watch these films. Their duel, their game of chess is pretty damn cool.

Arkin is one of the fewer smart protagonists in horror movies which also directly led to the movie ending good. But the protagonist of Saw is probably Jigsaw himself, besides you have to remember that basically from a few traps apart (mostly saw1/3) most of the traps that feature in Saw aren't even made by Jigsaw who at least made traps reasonably winnable. Also traps in saw have timer and direct pressure leading to people making mistakes, I think Straham was comparable to Arkin.

A really dark turn of events during that ending sequence there. Arkin admits that the collector was the 12th on a list of entomologists, and that he had no way to be sure if he got the right one until he meets the collector again. Now it's never explicitly said but the implication there is that our Arkin has turned into a bit of a monster on his own, kidnapping and quite possibly killing a fair share of innocent men along the way for his revenge.

[@symbiotegod2069]

To be fair. Can you really blame him becoming a monster. After what he's been put through twice.

[@InformerMaz]

Craig Ebanks Arkin knows what the Collector looked like though. He saw the face in the first movie, remember?

[@craigebanks7847]

InformerMaz I remember but he was knocked out immediately when that happened. Combined with the traumas of what he had to go through and it’s not unbelievable that he simply forgot, or even had a skimpy recollection of what the Collector looked like. I’m inclined to believe that Arkin did commit the atrocity mostly because narratively it makes sense. As well as the way he setup the end scene as if he had experience breaking in, kidnapping. Plus the lines he delivers don’t sound as if he just had a spot of tea when he scoped the previous 11 guys on the list

[@magicznygosc9718]

​@@craigebanks7847 Well, he saw his eyes many times with should be enough to recognize him without the mask and he saw the box that he used. So I think he didn't kill them. + He could just have a list with them and research into their backstories, with would help him get the real killer that just happened to be 12 on the list. And his family is saving so he doesn't have good reason to become a killer, but he still have a good reason for revenge.

I honestly think there is some supernatural element to this series. As the collector just seems to be able to set up all these things....without a single person noticing, or accidentally setting it off early or whatever else. Can somehow move extremely fast, while carrying a large heavy trunk with a person inside, can easily overpower almost everyone. Although that could be just plot armour also.

[@Tyler-ko8dp]

This is what I would LOVE to think. Because I just really don't want to believe that he is just a normal human and he somehow did all of this with his own 2 hands...the first movie was so weird because the collector was mysterious and moved so creepy and swift, almost like an animal. I want to tell myself that yes, this collector....this...thing...is much bigger than just a crazy guy. There is more to this.

[@josha4549]

I prefer watching this over actual horror movies

[@Fant]

I honestly like the first movie better. I like the mystery of the collector, how he just shows up, sets the traps and hunts everyone. His weird glow in the dark eyes and his mask which seems very based/inspired by Mr. Cruel's, a real life serial house invader in Australia. The first one is a masterpiece. The second film is a good movie but his presence on the first makes it way scarier.

[@Tyler-ko8dp]

100% agreed. The second film just felt a bit like a Saw movie to me. The first movie was so weird, how he just shows up out of the blue and then next thing there are traps set. If I were the writer, I wouldn't know where to go for the 3rd one, because we've already seen the Entomologist/collector in his home now, and pretty much taken in by Arkin. I am really worried about the 3rd movie...because they've lost that mystery after the 2nd film ending. We as viewers, don't feel powerless now that we know Arkin has him. The thing is, if the third movie is just reeling out more traps, then a face to face fight with knives, it's going to feel too same-y. Something else needs to happen now. Bring back the mystery, make us fear WITH Arkin, give the Collector the upper hand.

[@lieutenantgeorge4412]

This movie was amazing (along with The Collector) and I wish it had even more recognition than it has at the moment (or some years ago.) Many have asked for a third movie but I believe this ending was spectacular. Fantastic film; great review.

[@georgeclinton4524]

Everyone I show this and The Collector to says the same thing, 'Damn, I heard this wasn't that good but I actually thought it was great!'
